jazz and contemporary/popular music with choreography. The Boys Choir and
Girls Choir ensembles each consist of Preparatory and concert Choirs which

of new members (generally less than 2 years) who rehearse
approximately 11/2 hours daily. As students move up to the
Concert Choirs, they rehearse more intensively and strenuously (3 hours
daily) and master more difficult artistic works and have an increased
